Mastodon reports ~110k weekly active users and 121M "toots" across its 2+-year lifetime. That's impressive for a federated social network but, for comparison, 121M new tweets are generated on Twitter about every six hours.
Some more basic Mastodon stats that I recently collected: https://davepeck.org/2018/05/03/mastodon-stats/ https://davepeck.org/2018/05/03/mastodon-stats/
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoHow many tweets were generated when Twitter was about two years in? Early growth curves on social networks are exponential, there's plenty of time for Mastodon or an as-yet-to-be-created network to eclipse Twitter as it starts to decline. EDIT: According to https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/a/2011/numbers.html https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/a/2011/numbers.html it took about three years and two months for Twitter to hit a billion tweets. That's well within what Mastodon could hit with "exponential growth", though I'm guessing Mastodon will fall a bit short of that rate.
